FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

KANSAS CITY, MO - (October 6, 2006) - KansasFest, the Apple II expo
held
annually in Kansas City, Missouri, is pleased to have David Szetela as
its
2007 keynote speaker.  Mr. Szetela was the first editor-in-chief of
Nibble
Magazine, one of the premiere Apple II magazines of the Eighties.

"It's amazing and gratifying to me that the flame of passion for the
Apple
II we shared nearly 30 years ago still burns brightly," says Mr.
Szetela.
"I'm looking forward to attending KansasFest 2007 and re-connecting
with
old friends, reminiscing about Apple II milestones, and maybe sharing
some
little-know insider anecdotes."

Szetela began his career as VP of Operations at MindCraft Inc.,
publisher
of Nibble.  Next was a seven-year stint with Apple Computer, building
and
managing Apple's Evangelism department, the Worldwide Developer
Conference
series, Developer University and several award-winning print and
multimedia publications.  Szetela's Apple career included three years
at
Apple's European headquarters based in Paris, where his
responsibilities
included management of European Developer operations and Apple's online
services business. Szetela is now the founder, president, and CEO of
Clix
Marketing, an Internet marketing agency that specializes in the
management
of clients' paid search advertising campaigns.  An experienced speaker,
Mr. Szetela promises a fascinating inside perspective on Apple and
Nibble
for attendees of KansasFest.

The 2007 convention will be held at Rockhurst University in Kansas
City,
Missouri, from July 17th through the 22nd.  The days following the
opening
keynote will consist of informational sessions, the HackFest
programming
challenge, the KFest Kookout, and more.  The convention officially
concludes on Saturday with the annual Vendor Fair, at which attendees
buy,
sell, and trade new and used hardware and software, featuring official
vendor representation by Syndicomm, The ByteWorks, Nibble Magazine, and
more.
